Chi Wellness, LLC offers a medical qigong practitioner training program for students wish to use their clinical training toward the improvement of health and well being of self and family members. Please note that this curriculum does not provide the training required to develop the qualifications that are needed to receive national professional certification from the National Qigong Association as a professional clinical qigong healer or teacher. To acquire the skills that meet the requirements of NQA certification, enrollment into our Professional Medical Qigong Practitioner Certification training curriculum is necessary. We must emphasize that training in qigong, whether it is for personal or professional purpose, must be undertaken gradually and under the close guidance of a highly advanced clinical qigong healer and teacher (otherwise serious chi deviations that adversely affect physical and emotional health could result). A medial qigong practitioner is very effective in supporting family and communities with their healing processes when the practitioner places prominent focus in his/her self-healing as an integral part of his/her training. Graduation from our Medical Qigong Care for Self and Family training program requires the student’s satisfactory completion of the following courses of study and practice here in Chi Wellness, totaling approximately 337 hours within the range of time of 2 to 3 years. At the time of this update, completion of this curriculum incurs the expense of approximately $5905 in tuition during the 2-3 year study period. Certain courses may be taken simultaneously.

"When I met Debra I went into learning the Qigong form knowing it would be "good" for me but also dreading how physically demanding it felt. Debra made it fun and challenging as I began the journey of refining my chi. Since that first year I have taken Debra's medical qigong classes and have fallen in love with learning about Qigong healing wisdom. Debra is incredibly accommodating, kind, gentle, compassionate, intelligent and wise in her approach with each individual. I have also experienced one-on-one Qigong healing with Debra...all I can say is WOW, the healings and classes have changed the way in which I am able to be in this world. I now experience more health, laughter and joy on a regular basis. I feel so blessed to have met Debra.
